Britt looking forward to working with Kendall Wright

MONTEAGLE Kenny Britt could’ve made up some glowing comments about first round pick Kendall Wright, how his jaw dropped watching him play at Baylor. Instead, Britt told the truth.

“I honestly have never seen him,” Britt said of the rookie receiver, selected 20th overall. “I don’t watch football.”

Britt, a former first round pick himself, was here on Thursday on the Titans Caravan.

“I didn’t find out the news that we drafted a receiver until my wife woke me up at 1 in the morning the night of the draft — her father texted her that we’d drafted a receiver,” Britt said. “I said that’s great, but I have to go to work tomorrow.”

Don’t get Britt wrong. He’s excited about the team adding another weapon to the offense. And since the draft, he’s heard nothing but good things about Wright.

“I’ve heard he is an explosive player, he is a playmaker and he runs great routes. He can separate,” Britt said. “And that is what you need as a receiver. I am excited about every player we get, any player that can help the Tennessee Titans get to the Super Bowl. I’m looking forward to getting to know him.”
